Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

That would be a cool idea. We need more groups like that. The 501st seems like a mainly Imperial group, which was one of the reasons I never joined it. Not to mention I haven't got a full costume yet. I don't have any Mandalorian armor either, though.

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

It costs a lot from what I hear. I'm not sure on exact prices though. I'm not sure how much making your own costume will be. My Jedi cloak cost 20 dollars for my mom to make me, but then we got this really good cloth. And my tunics are so far costing about 15 dollars to make. (I got cloth and thread for making the inner tunic, vest, and belt, I already had the cloth for the outer tunic, which I got for 2.50 at a thrift store) So, that just for cloth. Metal would probably be more expensive. I think we had a costuming thread for making armor in the creative thread a long time ago.

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

I have a Vader helmet that lets me speak in Vader voice. Though it comes out as sort of a high-pitched Vader voice... It sounds pretty funny actually. But that was the kiddie helmet they sold in Wal-Mart, I got it for aout 25 dollars. So I guess that doesn't count as being an authentically voiced mic-helmet.

But that is cool!! I didn't know the 501st had helmets that make their voices sound like real Stormtroopers. I've never met one before.

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

I think the whole group thing is a good idea...although i've never seen one. I'll keep my eyes open. Yeah, my bro has that Wal-Mart DV mask/voice changer. It is OK i guess, i have such a low voice that it sounds like static, not speech...lol

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

I built all of mine for a hundred or under, including buying a helmet and repainting it. I don't have a jetpack though. You can build it on the real cheap if you shop around correctly and look for cheap alternatives.

However, I recommend putting the armor aside like I have and buy an accordion instead. I love it.

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

Kara-Chan and I decided to make ours (for Halloween) out of cardboard or something and we'll probably just buy actual buckets at Wal-Mart. Doubt that anybody would let us join with kind of get up, but, hey, its all we can afford. We are poor teenagers.

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

No, I was serious about it, Sensei-Sama. My mom could probably help us, though. She's actually kind of good with this kind of stuff. We could probably make our own capes, we'd just need to buy the buckets, paint, and get cardboard from a grocery stoore. All and all, it'll just cost us around $20- $25 bucks.

Re: Where Can I Find Fellow Mandalorians?

Um, I have gone to a few websites!---great ideas for Fett costumes there. From the sites, I know there is a type of therma-form plastic that is great to use for armor costumes instead of metal. This plastic would be easier to work with at home and with no special tools. I too have a Fett helmet I bought on eBay--it does need work, but I'm glad to have it!! I got it for just under $20!!! Making my own Mandalorian costume is a goal for me at the moment. I thought about keeping the Fett color scheme from ROTS, but of course, I'd have to customize it a little---now to just get my hands on some materials.

I also have a Jedi costume--not totally complete, but it gives enough of the illusion of a Jedi. I intend to work on it more as well.

I would soooo be intrested in a Mandalorian Garrison! That would be cool! Kinda be a break off from 501st

Nice looking costume Eric!!
